I chose the song “Khalibali” from the film Padmaavat, which is an Indian film that . The word “khalibali” means “panic: or “restlessness,” and in this song, it is used to poetically convey a heart that has become carefree and free from world concerns. I found this recording on YouTube, and I loved how energetic and dramatic the song was. The strong percussion and powerful vocals definitely align with traditional Indian music elements. I also enjoyed the music video being very cinematic due to the song’s use in the film.
